Comparing 3 Down Jackets at 3 Different Price Points

Taking a look at the REI Co-op 650 Down Jacket 2.0, the Patagonia Nano Puff, and the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer 2. I tested each down jacket in the Idaho backcountry and you'll see examples of each jacket being put to the test in all sorts of weather conditions. I found each one had benefits, but one was the clear winner.

sold my ghost whisperer....i use a 50$ decathlon down jacket now and love it

Love how you saved the best for last. I have followed your advice on pretty much all my gear and ordered the puff as soon as I saw this video! I know I won’t be disappointed -as I haven’t been with the other gear. Also, respect for still giving positive reviews for the other jackets.

I just picked up a Nano Puff a couple of weeks ago. I'm liking it so far. Your outdoors video footage is really nice. Good job.

[GatewoodBrown]

So much supporting footage. Great all round review, thank you!

Decathlon Trek 100 for less than $100 is a much better option in this comparison. One of the warmest down with hood. Warmer than any brand in the Under $200 class all the way to -5c

Zippers. It takes extra time and skilled work to install the YKK zippers correctly. Zippers fail on the cheaper coats because they rarely get them installed just right at the beginning of the run where you start it. Poster is absolutely right about Patagonia gear, even if the zipper breaks you can send it in and they have a repair shop. Happy trails!

just got the ghost whisper 2 at the employee store (it was a public week) for $125 I'm so stoked!

[bradwjensen]

The other thing is how does it fare after miles and miles of hiking with the backpack shoulder straps rubbing on the jacket shoulders?

[elijahpetrill]

just picked up the stretch down hoodie from MH. All these are fantastic but man that stretch down is amazing. Also the Alpine design 650 down is incredible. Especially If you have a slightly larger shoulder width! With a price point of 100 USD as well!

[VsemBobra-wo]

If my size is S should I take a jacket a size more like M ?

[Tinnntin]

I love my North Face Thermoball, it's warmer and better then the Nano puff believe me!

[mehmetbaykurd]

Hello my friend, does GHOST WHISPERER/2™1000 keep you warm? What kind of jacket is it?

[shadowscarnage]

I had to go check out the Patagonia Nano puff after watching this. But, I wasn't sure about the fitting. Should I think about going up or down a size at all? Thank you.

[elizabethingram]

I recently bought a Patagonia down sweater and I have to roll up the sleeves. It's OK though. It's like wearing a little sleeping bag. $157 at Patagonia on sale. LOL

[shamitoson]

A hood makes a jacket much warmer. Unless your layers have too many hoods, get a hood!

[hhantuu]

Hey Jon, I was skeptical about the synthetic but finally convinced. How tall are you and what size do you wear on the Nano Puff? TIA

[rockyboy]

Keep the great videos coming :-) Just a quick question. If u had to choose between 225 g of 90/10 duck down with 750 cuin fill power or 115 g 90/10 goose down with 800 cuin fill power from the same brand. which one would u go for to keep u warm leaving everything else aside. Just warmth? What temp do u think the later could withstand? Appreciate a reply mate. Many thanks in advance.

[VsemBobra-wo]

What would you suggest Patagonia Nano Puff or Hoody?

[PoliticalMatter]

Bought a Hugo boss at 70% off at 150$ and I love it.

[DeerUNIT]

I got original GW when they were blowing out stock for GW2, and I have been in love!

But yes same mental thing, always worried about damaging it, so been looking for more durable synthetic options to diversify the offerings. Nana puff, Atom, etc. Would have liked to see you do more comparisons apples to apples like all synthetic comparisons are all down comparisons not mixing them together
